CHARLES F. BEYERLE, OF PROVIDENCE, RnoDE ISLAND.

ORNAMENTAL CHAIN-HOOK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 300,680, dated June 17, 1884. 4

Application filed April 30, 1884. (No model.)

lb all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, CHARLES F. BEYERLE, of Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented an Improvement in Ornamental Chain-Hooks, of which the following is a Specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the improved construction of the hook and the clasp for the same, as hereinafter fully set forth.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved ornamental chain-hook when closed. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same when opened. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are detail views of the Several parts. Figs. 6 and 7 are corresponding elevations, showing a modification.

In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1, A is the chain, which is secured to the shank B of the hook by means of the fixed eye 0. To the outer end of the shank B is pivoted the hookarm D, the outer end of which is provided with a perforation, a, adapted to receive the knobbed or hook end of the stud b, which is secured to the base of the shank B. The stud b is so arranged relatively to the pivot c of the hookarm D that when the parts are brought to the closed position shown in Fig. 1 the hook-arm D will spring over the end of the Stud 71, thus causing the hookarm to be securely held against liability of accidental opening. The shank B of the hook may be made in any desired ornamental design, and my improved hook will thus constitute a desirable chain attachment.

A modification of my improvement is shown in Figs. 6 and 7, in which, in addition to the stud d, for fastening the pivoted hook-arm D,

a knob or hook-stud, e, is formed at the end of the hook-arm D, the Stud e being adapted to spring into a corresponding perforation made at the point f in the Sideof the shank B. The fastening-stud may thus be attached to either member of the hook.

I claim as my invention- In a chain-hook, the combination of the chain-connecting eye, the shank of the hook, the pivoted hook-arm, the fastening-stud, and the corresponding perforation in the opposite member of the hook, substantially as described.

CHARLES E. EYERLE.
